“…51 One area of growing research is with respect to the co-benefits of active transportation. [52][53][54][55] Building on leverage points described above, creating conditions for coordination and integration of co-benefits is closely aligned with what Brennan et al 14 describe as increasing understanding of how actions are connected and can "synergistically impact" systems for active living.…”

Background: Population physical activity promotion (PPAP) is one of the most effective noncommunicable disease prevention strategies, yet coordination is lacking around the world. Whole-of-system approaches and complex systems methods are called for to advance PPAP. This paper reports on a project which (1) used an Attributes Framework with system mapping (group model building and causal loop diagramming of feedback loops) and (2) identified potential leverage points to address the challenge of effective coordination of multisectoral PPAP in British Columbia. Methods: Key findings from stakeholder interviews and workshops described the current system for PPAP in terms of attributes and dimensions in the framework. These were translated into variables and used in group model building. Participants prioritized the importance of variables to address the coordination challenge and then created causal loop diagrams in 3 small groups. One collective causal loop diagram was created, and top priority variables and associated feedback loops were highlighted to explore potential leverage points. Results: Leverage points included the relationships and feedback loops among priority variables: political leadership, visible policy support and governance, connectivity for knowledge translation, collaborative multisector grants, multisector collaboration, and integrating co-benefits. Leveraging and altering “vicious” cyclical patterns to increase coordinated multisector PPAP are key. Conclusions: The Attributes Framework, group model building and causal loop diagrams, and emergent feedback loops were useful to explore potential leverage points to address the challenge of multisectoral coordination of PPAP. Future research could apply the same methods in other jurisdictions and compare and contrast resultant frameworks, variables, feedback loops, and leverage points.

“…Multifaceted challenges have been posed as a result of deteriorating air quality, especially in the context of public health. The purpose of this study was to examine the complex relationship between air pollution and well-being in Patna, especially regarding the effects over long periods of time, taking age and the exposure period into account [3]. The ambient air conditions were reflected in the data collected from the bustling district of Danapur Cantt within Patna.…”

“…One of the emissions resulting from transportation is PM 2.5 . [4][5][6][7] PM 2.5 can pass through the nose and throat and penetrate deep into the lungs and circulatory system. In addition, because of their small size and lightweight, PM 2.5 tends to last longer in the air than heavier particles.…”

Background:The largest global environmental health risk factor is the ambient of air pollution, that largely attributed to transportation emissions. One of the main causes of PM 2.5 emissions is thought to be onroad transportation. PM 2.5 has an impact on health, especially on children that relate to the respiratory system such as asthma, lung cancer, and decreased intelligence. Objective: The research objective was to predict the risk potential disease due to PM 2.5 in children from vehicle emissions in South Tangerang City. Method: This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design using a dynamic model approach using STELLA software. The environmental and human samples aare used to calculate the exposure level to PM 2.5 taken from 32 points in 7 sub-districts of South Tangerang City (North Serpong, Serpong, Pondok Aren, Ciputat, East Ciputat, Pamulang, and Setu). then, meteorological data was also collected. Results: The number of vehicles in the city of South Tangerang is quite high, especially between 11:00 and 15:00 with the majority of vehicles passing by are cars and motorbikes. PM 2.5 pollution levels will fluctuate until 2053. The effects of temperature, weather, and humidity might cause an increase in PM 2.5 pollutants at specific times. According to the modeling calculation results, even though there are occasions when PM 2.5 pollution levels fall, acute respiratory infection (ARI) incidence in children will continue to rise over time. Although PM 2.5 emissions fluctuate, exposure to PM 2.5 in low concentrations poses a risk to human health.
